How does SA Couples work?
SA Couples is a social networking web site, a bit like Facebook, catering for the South African swinging community. Use SA Couples to network with likeminded people, befriend them and communicate with them and when everyone is comfortable, arrange to meet at a neutral venue.
I have registered, whats next?
Once you have registered and completed your profile, it's time to start attracting attention and communicating with fellow members. Start off by adding a photo album, include only recent pictures, those pictures taken 10 years ago, might bring back fond memories, but in the lifestyle, we would see it as misrepresentation. SA Couples also allows you to add videos, blogs, groups and events.
